Re: Some of your rarest kits?

Rare kits that I own, but don't come across very often on auction are...

* Otaki Lamborghini Cheetah
* LS Datsun 240Z 2+2

And these two that I recently managed to get.




The top one is the Celica XX 2600G, which is known as the first generation Supra. The bottom one appears to be DB5, but the scaled-down wheelbase matches the DB4GT...?! (Also, the model is 24 times bigger than the real car! )

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

Bumping an old thread since my old pics disappeared. My rareest kits would probably my 1/12 Fujimi skylines... the Veilside one more than the stock one.


Also not really a kit, but my Sakatsu F20 AP1 engine.

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

Always good to see some rare kits! Wonder how many of them have been built since this thread started!...

Heres a couple of my somewhat rare kits

Scale Production Eleanor - although I see this is about to be released again so not so rare. Also to note Hiroboy now do Pepper Grey Zero Paint for this badboy!


Tamiya Carrera GT - Clear Body - Not as rare as the Clear Enzo but havent seen one built yet


& my Favorite & Rarest, Veilside R1 Street Drag 1/12


Resin Bodykit


Cant wait to see others!!
